Re: oh yeah, RANT ON (or, "I wish my neighbors would hurry up and die")

Okay JMJ. I've been patient for the past couple weeks hoping for an update and I even have an RSS feed right to my desktop for JUST this thread! You're seriously letting me down here! We need some inside pictures of that place, even if they're just through-the-window shots. Either that or you need to find a new neighbor that sucks or drive to your old neighbors new house and get some pictures of their continued ridiculousness!

All I know is this story isn't ready to die yet.

LOL!....JMJ maybe you need to move closer to their new house so we can have like a sequel to this whole thread. "crappy neighbors part duex"

Or better yet go talk to their new neighbors, point them to this thread and get them to post updates

The new house is just right down the road from him! He could drive by on a daily basis! Hell, he might even be able to put a solar powered wireless webcam somewhere so we could get 24x7 coverage of their new place!

Although getting their new neighbors to check out this thread could be quite interesting.. Hmmm...

Hey Apophis, it sounds like you know their address. Maybe an anonymous 'tip' is in order *waggles eyebrows*

But you know, I could be satiated if JMJ would just update this Frankenstein...

I vote for starting a time-lapse video documenting the dilapidation process of their new digs. Like one of those videos of flowers wilting. Perhaps a single photo/day would be sufficient.

well apophis is going to have more time on his hands so maybe a weekly visit and interview with the neighbors might work. Why dont you just move across the street apo and give us your views, much more reasonable.

haha, I still need to find the images of them ripping down the swimming pool. I think they're on my wife's camera.

I also think the garage is unlocked. Would be easy to just wander in for some indoor photography So who wants to come over and go inside to take the pictures?

Re: oh yeah, RANT ON (or, "I wish my neighbors would hurry up and die")

Damn, I've ignored this thread for months and I see I missed quite a bit. Is there an executive summary somewhere, or do I have to read the whole book?

Re: oh yeah, RANT ON (or, "I wish my neighbors would hurry up and die")

Start of the thread:

JMJ has some hick neighbors that move in or have lived next door to him and are messing up property values for everyone else.

Neighbors have stupid, i mean literally stupid, kids that cause problems and make the property look even worse.

Mid:

Other neighbors start to complain and report them to the cops and dog people for stupid dogs and barking. They get a pool, that turns into a mosquito breeding grounds.

End:

couple separates, and gets stuff repo'd. So they park in their last vehicle so it wont get taken. The buy a new house around the block because the bank put a lean on their current house, so they have been removing appliances and furniture from it to furnish their current house.

Did i miss anything?

Re: oh yeah, RANT ON (or, "I wish my neighbors would hurry up and die")

Excellent. The only thing missing is the answer to HOW someone can buy a new house when they are in financial ruin. I've seen people pull that off with cars, but never houses.

It's kinda hard to Cliff Note the whole situation, but that's a pretty good job. Most importantly, watch the video JMJ posted a while back Icky. Very graphic. If you haven't seen it already, here's a link
